Re: re-setting up the RTL dongle & sdrsharp
I now have a much newer laptop (about 4 yrs newer) then the HP Compaq Presairo C700 that I was using. The C700 has a single core cpu. I now have a Dell Inspiron 3541 laptop with 8 cores of cpu, 500 gb hard drive and 4 gig's of memory. with 5 months to go on the manufacturer's warranty (when I got it) to go. What a steal for $100.00 from a pawn shop. OS Win7 Home 32bit is on the Dell laptop now. It had Win 8.1 in it but I only have Win7 Home 32bit cd.
Anyways I am setting up the RTL dongle and SDRSharp again. I am following the directions from before https://forums.radioreference.com/s...3-i-need-some-help-again-tuning-sdrsharp.html And something is not right. The dongle is setup and running. I just can't clean up the signal. I am having trouble with the bandwidth, I can't remember were the deviation setting is and what is the order setting? I attached 2 audio files. Both are from NOAA radio. 1 is via the dongle (realy noisy). The 2nd one is NOAA via my Baofeng 2m/70cm ht on a rubber duck antenna. Even with just the rubber duck antenna the NOAA signal is a lot better and 100% copy. I am having the same trouble as the last time except for the dongle rf gain and the range control on the waterfall are set right. I did remember that. It just takes me a few cold install tries to get the directions in my head right. I had the completed notes in a file on the D: hard drive untill the D: hard drive got accidentally re-formated. And I only had about 1/3rd of the hd backed up on data DVD's at the time.
Here are the Dropbox links to the files, There is a screen capture link of SDRSharp in there also.
